About hair pieces...
Hair pieces come in all different sizes and shapes. Depending on your head size, area of coverage and the type of hair you have, will help determine the right hair piece. Like wigs, hair pieces are constructed the same way using french and monofilent tops, lace fronts, areas with silicone and either hand tied or machine wefted bases.
Hair pieces are also referred to as hair toppers, falls, toupees, wiglets, partial hair replacements, non surgical hair replacement, switch, pastiche, sheitel, hair systems, units or head covering.
How are hair pieces attached?
- Hair pieces can be clipped or bonded down to your head.
- Bonding can be done daily to monthly
- Bonding can be done at home with medical grade tape or in a salon with adhesives
